Adaptive color polymorphism and unusually high local genetic diversity in the side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Micheletti Steven, Parra Eliseo, Routman Eric J

Abstract excerpt

Recently, studies of adaptive color variation have become popular as models for examining the genetics of natural selection. We examined color pattern polymorphism and genetic variation in a population of side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana) that is found in habitats with both dark (lava) and light colored (granite) substrates. We conducted a limited experiment for adult phenotypic plasticity in laboratory...
